Description

Recent observations by ALMA suggest that planets may begin forming much earlier in the lifecycle of stellar systems than previously thought, in the protostellar systems. These systems are abundant in icy and gaseous material which can contribute to the planetesimals forming there. I will present JWST results of the icy content of these systems, particularly multiple new molecular detections that we did not have access to with previous telescopes.
